Congratulations!
In order to secure your date, I generally tell couples that when it comes to reaching out: the sooner, the better.
For save the dates, we’d want to get started about 12-14 months prior to your wedding date. For invitations, we should begin at least 6 months out. While it’s not a requirement, it is helpful to have at least your venue booked, your color palette selected, and some of your details decided prior to beginning your stationery process. That way, we will have an aesthetic to work with and information to include.
Nope! APD can be your one-stop-shop for all of your wedding stationery, including day-of items like signage, menus, programs, etc. Prior to the wedding, I often provide save the dates, wedding invitations, shower stationery and signage, and bachelor/bachelorette party stationery and signage. I can even help with thank you cards. If you’re interested in something I haven’t mentioned, just ask!
I wish there was a simple answer for this. The truth is, MOST of what I do is custom, and custom design means custom pricing. Things like quantity , print process (digital, letterpress, foil, etc.), embellishments (belly bands, wax seals, etc.), and design complexity all affect pricing . Even semi-custom pieces may have slight variations that affect price.
While I can’t give you an exact price prior to a consultation, I CAN tell you that most APD couples spend an average of $2,300-$3,900 on their wedding stationery, and custom invitation suites start at $1,500 .
ABSOLUTELY! I’d be honored.
Of all areas of design, I chose to be a wedding stationery designer because I love love and believe it should be celebrated no matter your skin color, your sexual preference, how you identify, what you believe, or how you envision your “perfect” wedding. Don’t ever be afraid to reach out to me. I have no tolerance for exclusion and hate, and you’ll get nothing but love over here 💕
When I work with a couple on their invitations, we explore and select their perfect fonts, color palette, and design style. Their invitations truly set the tone for the rest of their wedding stationery, including any day-of items.
When the invitations were created elsewhere and I’m asked to create day-of items based on someone else’s design, I’m no longer helping to create the couple’s wedding aesthetic. Instead, I’m limited to the fonts and design style already in place in order to maintain a cohesive look between the invitations and the day-of items.
As a professional designer, simply put: that’s no fun. It’s important to me that I work with a couple the entire way through their wedding stationery process. For this reason, I no longer provide design services for day-of items to couples whose invitations I did not create.
